Marinated Mushroom Salad Recipe

Spruce up your boring salads with some Harissa-marinated forestiére mushrooms, or other wild mushrooms of your choice. Pair this tasty salad with sourdough croutons and crisp salad leaves. This salad features a lively citrus dressing, making this a substantial main meal for lunch or dinner.

Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Mix together half the olive oil with the harissa spice mix. Brush the mixture over the mushroom caps, place in a roasting tin, gill-side up, and roast for 20 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, put the bread in a freezer bag with the remaining oil, twist the top and shake the bag to coat the bread in the oil. Tip the bread out onto a roasting tray and bake for 10–15 minutes, turning once, until crisp.

Put the almonds on a roasting tray and toast for 10–15 minutes until starting to turn golden. Mix together the ingredients for the dressing, season and leave to one side.

Place the salad leaves on a serving plate and top with the tomatoes, red onion and croutons. Spoon the dressing over the salad, toss to combine, then top with the mushrooms and toasted almonds.
